Hi Pat and All at Nevgen,
WOW!!! I didn't realize it would be so fast. When I applied I thought it would take a
few days so I didn't sit on my computer.
All I can say is Thank you and what a wonderful surprise. I am truly EXCITED about this.
I would like to say especially Thank you to Patricia for her quick decision and to assure
her that I am here for her and what ever help is needed, but I want to assure each of you
Coordinators that I will be here for you as well to answer any of your questions or
problems you may have.
Patricia asked that I give a little Bio of myself. I'll try and make it short.
First, my name Lureigne is phonetically pronounced Lorraine. Please don't try to
memorize the spelling, just spell the regular way as long as there is not another Lorraine
as coordinator here. If there is you can address me as Lu. Keep it simple and short:-)).
I live in a small town of Corona, Ca. (not so small any more, growing leap & bounds)
Riverside County. This is southern Ca., approx 80 miles north east of San Diego and 45
miles south of Los Angeles. I was born in Los Angeles 62 1/2 yrs ago (so now you also know
how old I am:-). I have lived all over Ca., as far north as Concord, Ca., but came back to
southern Ca. and raise my 4 children (single mom). I have 9 grand children and 2 1/2
g-grandchildren ( one will be born in Nov.) I meet my present husband 21 1/2 yrs ago and
he is a sweetheart. In my working career I worked for several banks until they started to
merge. I went into business for myself as a certified Paralegal, a P.I., and as a
collection service.
I begin Genealogy approx 6 yrs ago ( love history and a mystery and I have plenty of them,
brick walls) I joined several Ca. lists looking for my ancestors and found myself
expanding outside of Ca. as my ancestor list grew. I have been on the NevGen list for a
short time as some of my ancestors went through and lived in Nevada. I also am List Admin
for several of my Surnames and for the CaOrange Co. list. I have been coordinator for one
of the Ca. lists. My main passion is to stroll cemeteries and take pictures on requests,
but I do look-ups at the county Recorders office as well.
Patricia asked me to send a pictures of myself which I will do in a couple of days, I have
to find a good one and send.
Thank You everyone and I hope I can get to know each one of you as well.
Talk to you all soon
Lureigne
